Аннотация
PURPOSE: To report a case of endophthalmitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).
DESIGN: Descriptive case report.
METHODS: Review of patient records.
RESULTS: A 77-year-old female patient presented with postoperative endophthalmitis. Anterior segment examination revealed a severe anterior chamber and vitreous reaction. She underwent an anterior chamber tap followed by a vitrectomy, which were both positive for MTB via polymerase chain reaction. There was no radiological evidence of systemic disease. She responded well to antibiotics and antitubercular therapy for a final visual acuity of 6/9 at 1-month follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be an etiologic agent for postoperative endophthalmitis.
